Already two issues!!
Just picked up my HS250 premium with nav yesterday and already have two issues. First of all it has 5400 miles on it since it was a demo. The car is only getting 15mpg since I have started driving. Does this make any sense??? Also the low tire light is already on. Its freezing out but I did not think it should be doing this already. Any help???

Did you reset the odometer, so you can begin to track your own MPG? Who knows what the dealer did with that car that chewed up gas - maybe it sat for hours with the system on, so the engine cycled on/off all day running the HVAC.
As a demo, I'd expect you'll find some issues - demo's get beat on by everyone testing a car's limits. Have that tire checked for sure - maybe you picked up a nail.
Otherwise enjoy your new ride!

Depending how you drive will be the mileage test. People posted huge miles per gallon BUT they almost use the foot to push the car along. Just be patient and slow down - no quick starts. Learning curb 
Cold weather shrinks the air pressure. BUT when driving and the tires warm up the pressure will increase.
Relax and enjoy the car it's a GREAT VEHICLE
! Look at all the old post and you will learn a lot here.

Congrats on the purchase. Yes reset the MPG (I believe you push the button on the steering wheel down a few seconds and it resets).
Low tire is a common issue, especially when cold. Just make sure it doesn't occur often as there might be a leak then.
